LS3 Engine MODS......Advice
hey i guys i need some advice from those who know more then I. Currently i own a ls3 and it has LG headers, Airraid Intake, Borla exhaust,160 thermostat, tr6 plugs and a 150 shot of nos(wet.) i want to be able to produce maybe 20/30 more hp with out having to up the nitrous. what mods can i do to the car that will compliment the nos yet add 20/30 hp to the motor. i dont wanna spend too much money but im interested in whats out there without having to up nos or purchase a SC.
Also im debating wether or not its worth to upgrade from z51 brakes to z06 brakes. i know the z06 brakes are amazing but i dunno if they might be too heavy? please let me know what you guys think. thanks!

LS3's respond soooooo well to a good cam, LGM makes some GREAT cams for you to choose for your car. Give Louis and the boys a call and tell them your goals... They have some neat LS3's on the road here in DFW, and I have seen their hp in action... You'll get every bit of the 30rwhp bump you're looking for...

Put a cam in that LS3 and the motor will come alive. They respond much better than the LS2's and you'll be around the 490rwhp mark or better after it with out the pill
The Z06 brakes are well worth the investment and if your current aftermarket wheels can handle them with out modding then go for it, but don't use the stock pads because of all of the dust
